    Why the Dual Charger option is a good thing to have

    I agree that having a dual charger is preferable to not having one. In big scheme of things additional 1500 does not matter but makes car more usable. With Tesla service centers in all major ciities, you have access to HPWC allowing you to charge at higher rate.

    S85 Owners: Do you wish you had bought S60 instead

    Scott: you are like me. I also changed my battery to 85 after confirming after hearing so much here and am very happy with change.

    S85 Owners: Do you wish you had bought S60 instead

    https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=768006143231768&set=pcb.551419384978018&type=1&theater I am bringing back one of the old threads. When I was ordering Tesla, I was sure I did not need 85 kWh and was willing to even forego Supercharger as I have an Odyssey and I thought let me use that for...

    And now I play the waiting game.

    Congrats!!! Please do add Tech Pkg as suggested by others. Also please seriously consider upgrading to. 85 kWh battery. Parking sensors is another great feature to add. This will add 12k to the cost but you don't buy Model S every day.

    I have to cancel my reservation now I'm out $5k according to Tesla [Now Resolved]

    Awesome news OP. I never had concerns about it and am glad it happened this way. I hope you join Tesla family sooner than later. I am in South Florida and will gladly join you for a beer some time.

    Just a few questions before placing my order...

    I believe if you can't afford 85 with options you like, you can't afford even 60. Please do take a look at the finances thoroughly. 85 will make car much more usable. If anyone says that he can save money by using ice car on long drives, I agree. Buying Tesla is not for saving money. Putting 8k...

    I have to cancel my reservation now I'm out $5k according to Tesla [Now Resolved]

    Tax credit is not going anywhere. OP can pass it on to next guy. Real killer is sales tax which will be accessed two times and OP should look into if there is a way to avoid it second time legally.

    Color indecision

    I love black. However there is no point in asking others about the best color combination. There is a nice table giving combination of your favorite ice cream flavor and color. If you like coffee, green color is best. Chocolate flavor warrants red and Vanilla implies silver. So if you post your...

    I have to cancel my reservation now I'm out $5k according to Tesla [Now Resolved]

    I am pretty sure you will get 2.5 k back. If you can 't get financing, you will get everything back . If your reason to cancel is financial , you can get entire deposit back since you can 't get financing. Also your configuration is a very popular one and you can make money flipping it. Need to...

    Trade-in experience (AutoNation, CarMax, Private Party, etc.)

    I had a great experience with Autonation. They gave the quote online. For inspection they gave address of a facility. I told them I am busy and will appreciate a visit. They came to my home and inspected the car. Then when I picked Stela, I dropped my old car at Tesla service center and that was...

    Dual Chargers now separate from HPWC on Tesla Website

    Hi islandbayy, what does P120 mean in your signature? Congratulations on adding twin chargers and I am sure having fast charging capability will be of help at sometime in future. Other thing I recommend all is to have extension cords and adapters so that you can charge from any plug (especially...

    Pano for headroom only

    I am only 5' 4". I got panoramic roof. Even if you don't open it, when you look up, it is all glass and view is truly panoramic. I will strongly recommend Panoramic roof. It is way different from typical sun roofs. Cheers, Amit

    Preferred Date Gone from Dashboard

    Just affirming that it is indeed normal. Once preferred month is gone, you can't change on your own. If some one wants to change, he can still make a call and depending on where he is, it can still be changed. Bear in mind that for US deliveries car goes in production around 2 weeks before the...

    What other vehicles do you have in your garage?

    My other vehicle is 2007 Honda Odyssey with 80K miles on it. I retired 2000 Nissan Altima with 148K miles. I earlier had Honda Accord which lasted 9 years & 160 K miles but was totaled in an accident. So first time I am switching from Japanese cars to an American car.

    Mother of all News: Delivery completed and Joined the Haves

    Friends, I am delighted to let all of you know that I got my black beauty on 5-Mar. I named her Stela. I have a feeling that it is most common name for Tesla since it is re-ordering of the TESLA letters. It is a delight to drive it. In fact there are two types of persons. One who drive Tesla...

    2013 Model S 85 - rear seats- Tech pack- air suspension, FREE DELIVERY IN USA

    Since folks don't come back with the final price, these discussions inform folks as to what they should look for in coming up with the price. This warns buyers of scams and rip offs as well.

    Make an Offer :Reduced Price:2014 Model S 60KWH Subzero Weather package Rear Seating SC enabled - SO

    Shows ignorance of OP. no one here or at tesla forum will buy at a premium. Only uninformed folks will buy at this price. When you buy from a private party, you will pay less than an inventory car because of associated risks. This includeing tax credit in calculation.

    2013 Model S 85 - rear seats- Tech pack- air suspension, FREE DELIVERY IN USA

    GDH: you may have priced it fairly. i will like if folks who put their cars on sale at the forum, come back and say at what price sale went through. This will give a reality check to sellers who think they command insane premium by selling used Teslas.

    2013 Model S 85 - rear seats- Tech pack- air suspension, FREE DELIVERY IN USA

    Thanks Massx1317 for number analysis. If inventory vehicle is at 90 k, private sale has to be at a lower price in view of inherent risks of buying from an individual. No one should pay more than 80k for it. Now you may always find an uninformed buyer.

    I am very happy for you Islandbayy that things are coming back to normal now. It is an experience all of us will like to avoid and details will just make us aware about the issues. Of course you will be telling the gory details about how it happened like this and should you have done anything...

    Model S with Rear Seat Option Safer?

    Yes, from pure safety perspective, having the crumble zone (that is not the reinforced one which is added for third row) is better. Think about it like this. Say you are holding a steel rod at your back and some one hits the steel rod. You are holding a plastic rod and someone hits the plastic...

    Help deciding 60kw or 85kw

    I thought that 60 was good for me and finalized on 60. However so many folks were recommending to go for 85 that I called Tesla and upgraded to 85. I will find out if indeed I do drives which are easier in 85 compared to 60 and update in few months . For me extra 10k was not financial stretch...

    Tesla Factory Visit

    My visit went well on 13-Feb. It is indeed an amazing factory. So impressive to see how Kuka robots make more than 50% of the car. Whole car gets assembled in 3-4 days. Most time is taken in painting. One other interesting thing was that before shipping cars to EU they disassemble (take out the...
